Good morning! I slept again. Twice in a row. Must be a Christmas present:-)
That said, it was 2 AM before I slept... But hey! Six-plus hours is always great:-)

And on that note... Hubby's bloodwork wasn't ideal and this Friday we have the Big Talk with his hemo-onco --- almost a year since dx of the rare weird Waldenstrom's --- and then... Well, not to be too delicate, I gotta find out what I have to do for vacines and such to help Hubby's health. Hubby's got to increase the vaccine regimen, just in case, so it's my turn to find out ... And to get a real PCP for a change. Hubby's new one has "passed the test" so far so I'll see if he's taking new patients. He's not my ideal, but he's good, I'll take "good" while it's still working!
It was a hell of a shock to Hubby, btw, to realize he needed to keep more vigilant about his exposures etc... We've gotta be prepared for the worst and hope for the best b/c hey! That's the way it has to be. And yes,t hat's till stressful, but --- breathhing! breathing! ---

Now for this fun link to the UK's Daily Mail. Check out the FBI stats on numbers of solved... and then the rates of unsolved (believed to be unreported as well...) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6207553/The-majority-U-S-crimes-unsolved-including-4-10-murders-FBI-data-shows.html
It's [pretty weird to think about, isn't it? And yet understandable. ... Shame, fear of reprisal, cultural taboos, there's a sh*t load of factors in not reporting crimes. Also, I want to put in a quick note: The FBI stats don't take into account "We called the cops and they never filled out a form about it so we reported it bu tthe cops ignored us"... Yep.
And now to stop binge-watching true crime shows...

Well, our drought isn't broken but our gutter is. Got two big storms rigth after each other and, wait for it, a tornado warning.Now, I was already running for my go-bag when I heard thunder. The air felt wrong. The sky was getting a color to the west. Been there, lived that, time to hide.No funnel touched down but the radar indicated rotation, and boy was it visible from the ground.

Welcome to the Perseid meteor showers, the "biggies" usually every year. (The Leonids beat 'em one year IMHO).AND today much of the northern hemisphere will see 5 to 99% solar eclipse. How cool is that? Your best bet is to be in the UK or norhtern Spain, where totality is excellent before sundown. Me, I'll get a super duper tiny itty bitty slice of it, so little that it won't be noticeable. New...
My procedure went good, my blood pressure was 90/60 which is high for me lately so that made me feel better. When they woke me up my blood pressure was staying around 75/50 so we had to hang out a while to make sure I wasn't going to pass out or be to dizzy to get dressed. Thank God I started feeling a bit better and we could go. Only some trapped air pain this time, nothing like last time with a full colonoscopy and upper endoscopy. All-in-all a success since the doctor didn't see anything and my pain is minimal this time. However, I would love some answers and for someone to fix me.
I hope everyone has a good day. I'm going with my husband to pick the girls up from school soon.
Ida that sucks that no one told you about the cancellation. I am glad your service tonight is early.
Twin we are grateful for you too. I am glad your test went well but wish they had gotten some answers. Hugs
